Comparison Aspects
Comparison
Normalised rolled
Formed at normalising temperature.
Better metal flow during forming
Facilitates tight corner profile without corner
cracking.
Uniform grain structure.
Cold formed
Formed at ambient temperature
Some degree of cold working in corners during
forming
Can be susceptible to corner cracking unless slack
corners maintained
Non-uniform grain structure

Varying grain structure and hardness values around
section, particularly in corners and seam weld area.
Mechanical properties vary around section.
Rapid and unpredictable loss of strength when heat
is applied.

Compression
Normalised
Negligible residual stresses.
Design strength from ‘a’ curve.
Cold Formed
Varying residual stresses extremely
high in corners
Design strength from ‘c’ curve.
‘a’ curve values 15% higher than ‘c’
curve at λ = 40 and 140, and 26%
higher at λ = 80. Compression
capacity can be up to 34% higher
than for the same size cold formed
